No1Statistican 16 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 So he tore/sprained his mcl so the injury can vary from a few days/one week grade 1 or at worst grade 3 4-8 weeks. He looked alright walking away so I wouldn't expect the worst. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LacesOut 69 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hopefully it's not bad as he's looked terrific so far. He deserves success from being cut several times to special teams guy and eventually starter on a good team. Hard not to root for 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guwop 802 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Damn...don't have him but was rooting for him given his story. He finally had his time time to shine and now this. Hope it's only mild and he comes back in a few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Funkenstein 979 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Traded Michael thomas for him and another player the other day. From one injury to another. I hate this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RustyMiller 1,247 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think Melvin Gordon had a similar MCL sprain in 2018. He was back in 3 weeks. I think it was a grade 2 sprain. Seems like Mostert was a little less serious. I'm hoping for 1 week. 2 at the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpartanEric 727 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Considering the circumstances, I’m guessing it was mostly precautionary. 49ers were complaining the field was slippery and they’d already lost their best player. And they were playing a team with no chance to beat them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand the panic now if you didn’t. Even for those of us that do, there's got to be some concern that Tevin Coleman got 14 carries to McKinnon's 3. McKinnon is obviously far more talented, but I'm not sure the coaches trust his knee enough to give him a big workload this early. If Mostert misses any time, I bet we see Tevin Coleman eat up a lot of carries even though he sucks. Edited September 21, 2020 by OrangeAggie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This backfield is way too unpredictable and keep in mind that Coleman was hurt for a bit of this game too. I think McKinnon is the better long term add but Coleman is in the way. In my eyes, it’s very much like the Mack/Taylor situation back in game 1: Coleman might be less talented but he’s getting first crack and more opportunities than McKinnon. But the problem is by the time McKinnon takes hold of the startjng job, Mostert might be well on his way back and lose some opportunities to McKinnon. As a Mostert owner, this is just bad news all around. I don’t see any silver linings here. Edited September 21, 2020 by WaiverLooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably explains why McKinnon only got 3 carries. I will say I agree the highlights show Mostert and he certainly doesn’t look like he’s favouring his knee that bad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes, for all of us that have unlimited roster space, no other players dealing with any injuries and we can just hoard every team's 3rd down back. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You read too much into the comment. Obviously, if you have a bunch of injuries you can't. So, it wasn't meant for you. I also disagree with you on your disparagement of McKinnon.

griffin727 950 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would guess anywhere from 2-4 weeks. He's certainly out week 3 and probably week 4, can't imagine he all the sudden is going to play on an MCL sprain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpartanEric 727 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 And meanwhile, Tevin Coleman is getting an MRI on his knee. That turf ruined SF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
